On this day 30 years ago, "The American Dream" Dusty Rhodes defeated "The Nature Boy" Ric Flair to win his third, and ultimately, final NWA World Heavyweight Championship. Rhodes previously held the championship from August 21, 1979 to August 26, 1979 and June 21, 1981 to September 17, 1981. Rhodes would eventually lose it back to Flair on August 9th. Wish he held it longer but better to have won and lost then never to have held it. Was nice to see Rhodes with the Big Gold Belt.
Also, want to say fuck you to the WWE for this footage. Seriously, WWE. It's only fucking blood so stop acting like pussies and releasing black and white footage. I can still see the blood and it's not going to scar any kid.
